Marketing strategies that lead you in the right direction
When we took on Living Magazines, we had a lot to consider. We knew we wanted flexibility when we started our business. We aimed to build something that included Living Magazines but wasn’t limited to it.
The name we landed on for our broader business is Devout Pedestrian. Being a “devout pedestrian” is an idea rooted in a bit of family lore for Jessie as it is something that her father always mentioned when people asked about his beliefs — “I’m a devout pedestrian.” Basically, it’s the concept of doing good and being a good person.
It also reflects our mission of being a good business by providing real value to the community in a down-to-earth, unpretentious way.
This is why we’ve launched Devout Pedestrian (aka: “DevPed”) Media. We want to offer affordable marketing, media, and advertising strategy and support for small businesses. Maybe that means a graphic design project or social media assistance. Or it may mean a more comprehensive, strategic leadership in the mold of a fractional Chief Marketing Officer.
We are now taking on a small number of clients in this capacity. Some benefits of working with us:
- We SPECIALIZE in projects for smaller organizations, nonprofits, and businesses. These clients may admittedly feel a little lost when it comes to marketing…but we’re excited to create something that actually works for you, while considering logistics and budget.
- We LISTEN: We learn your business, your audience and your goals.
- We CREATE: We design thoughtful visuals, messaging and campaigns aligned with your brand.
- We GUIDE: We help you move ahead with a clear plan and measurable direction so you can reach your goals.
Let’s build a marketing plan that moves your business forward.
The Creative: Jessie
With more than 10 years of experience in print and digital marketing, media/journalism, and PR, Jessie brings creative, out-of-the-box thinking to our brand. She has worked a variety of jobs across the nonprofit, media and for-profit landscape which also included a variety of marketing budgets.
She believes that, despite your marketing budget, every business has the ability to create a great marketing campaign… sometimes you just have to get a little creative. Fortunately, that’s one of her favorite things to do!
The Mover & Shaker: Chris
Chris brings over 15 years of experience in major gift philanthropy, partnering with high-level clients to facilitate six- and seven-figure gifts that create meaningful community impact. More recently, he has applied that same relationship-driven approach to ad sales and to the business strategy and operations of Living Magazines.
